| 9. | "Paridzirai izvozvi pakati pamarudzi; zvigadzirirei kurwa; kurudzirai varume vane simba; varwi vose ngavaswedere, vaende kundorwa. |
| 10. | Pfurai mapadza enyu ive minondo, namapanga enyu okuchekerera miti ave mapfumo; asine simba ngaati, `Ndine simba.' |
| 11. | Chimbidzikai, muuye, imi marudzi ose akapoteredza, muungane; imi Jehovha, mhare dzenyu ngadziburukireko. |
| 12. | Marudzi avanhu ngaamuke, aende kumupata waJehoshafati; nokuti ndipo pandichagara ndichitonga marudzi ose akapoteredza. |
| 13. | lsai jeko renyu mumunda, nokuti zviyo zvaibva; uyai musvine, nokuti chisviniro chewaini chazara, zvisviniro zvinopafuma; nokuti kushata kwavo kwakura. |
| 14. | Vazhinji-zhinji, vazhinji-zhinji varipo mumupata wokutonga! Nokuti zuva raJehovha rava pedo mumupata wokutonga. |
| 15. | Zuva nomwedzi zvasviba, nyeredzi dzinobvisa kupenya kwadzo. |
| 16. | Jehovha achaomba ari paZiyoni, achanzwisa izwi rake ari paJerusaremu; denga rose nenyika zvichadengenyeka; asi Jehovha uchava utiziro hwavanhu vake, nenhare yavana vaIsiraeri. |
| 17. | Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari wenyu, agere paZiyoni, iro gomo rangu dzvene; ipapo Jerusaremu richava guta dzvene, hakuna vatorwa vanozopfuura napo. |
| 18. | Zvino nezuva iro makomo achadonha waini inotapira, zvikomo zvichayerera mukaka, uye hova dzose dzaJudha dzichayerera mvura zhinji; mumba maJehovha muchabuda tsime, richadiridza mupata weShitimi. |
| 19. | Ijipiti richava dongo, uye Edhomu richava renje rakaparadzwa, nemhaka yesimba rakaitirwa vana vaJudha, zvavakateura ropa risina mhosva panyika yavo. |
| 20. | Asi Judha vachavapo nokusingaperi, uye Jerusaremu kusvikira kumarudzi namarudzi. |
| 21. | Ndichapembedza ropa ravo randisina kumbopembedza; nokuti Jehovha anogara paZiyoni." |
